ORONO, Maine – UMaine School of Engineering Technology Professor Raymond Hintz has been awarded the 2006 Earl J. Fennel Award from the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping. The award is presented each year to recognize outstanding contributions to ACSM and the surveying and mapping profession.
Hintz, a longtime UMaine professor and program coordinator for the Surveying Engineering Technology Program, will be presented with the award on April 22 at the 2006 ACSM conference in Orlando. Nominated by his colleagues and students, Hintz was an excellent choice for the award, according to ACSM Executive Director Curt Sumner.
“The nomination packages are reviewed by a selection committee who selects one recipient each year,” said Sumner. “[Hintz’s] many endorsements and history of achievement made him an excellent candidate.”
UMaine’s Kate Beard and Knud Hermansen are past recipients of the Earle J. Fennel Award.
